I got the Tatting Bug! I finally figured out the knot-flop and I went to town doing different things and techniques. As I progress I began to see a Goddess being born! Tatting Goddess? It is about 2 inches long and about an inch wide, perfect as a charm but how would I protect it? Any ideas?
I had thought about encasing it in some polymer casting...but I dunno about that. What do you think?
Until next time...

Thanks for the feedback! Most comments will be published right away except for you pathetic spammers who's messages will never see the light of day. If you are offended by having to fill one a "prove you are not a robot" form, my goodness...chill out! It takes two seconds to do and saves me a ton spam to have to filter through and it takes two seconds, MAX. If you are that easily offended, maybe you should simply not comment, and seek some counseling.

Definitely starch it a bit!
ReplyDeleteHow easy was this? I've been wondering about tatting, myself!
Pretty darned easy once I got the knot-flop down. I found that by pullin ghard on the shuttle thread while at the same time loosening the tension on the ball thread, the flop happened. It takes some practice with 2 different colors of larger thread (I used Sugar n cream cotton), but once you get the the flop, and practice a bit to gain the muscle memory, it's simple as pie. It's just micro-macrame' in the end.
